In the following pages, we read about an ambitious Luther trying to obtain for himself the dignity of the cardinalate at a young age. We learn about the true motives for his objections to indulgences, which sprang principally from resentment at the loss of income for his own Augustinian Order. We witness also his bad temper and vitriolic tongue, his nocturnal conversations with demons (whether they were real or imagined), and his scandalous and degrading...

No es un mero padre ideal el que se describe en El padre cristiano, aspirando a una santidad inalcanzable o fantasiosa. Es un padre tal como Dios quiso que fueran todos los padres, tal como debería y podría encontrarse a la cabeza de toda familia cristiana. Es un padre cristiano genuino que cumple fielmente las obligaciones de su estado y se santifica en los deberes ordinarios de la vida diaria.
El padre cristiano naturalmente inculcará hábitos...

Han sido pocos los estudios que ahondan en el hecho religioso desde una óptica social y cultural, que miran transversalmente la sociedad desde los rincones menos evidentes. Este es el caso del presente libro, el cual, apoyado desde un gran acervo documental, muestra lo más recóndito de la religiosidad popular, para así acercarnos con mayor precisión a la mentalidad religiosa colonial. La religiosidad popular no se refiere exclusivamente a las...

Los católicos creen en la resurrección del cuerpo, y así lo profesan en el credo. Aprenden que enterrar a los muertos y rezar por ellos es una obra de misericordia. Los honran en su Liturgia mediante el Rito de la sepultura. Hacen todo esto, y más, porque cuando Jesucristo se encarnó, también otorgó una gran dignidad al cuerpo. La promesa de la resurrección corporal pone de relieve la necesidad de un cuidado digno de nuestros cuerpos en la...

I present my written works as those which disturb the margins of socio-political power and hegemony, to dismantle the hermeneutics, epistemologies and dynamic lexicons of oppression and cultural suppression. This decision advances my movement toward authoring works which situate and re-read pop cultural ideologies and aesthetic assumptions with a philosophical deconstructive expressive critique.My current and forthcomings works argue for the necessity...

POETRY IN MOTION is many different things to many different people, as is the piece of art
this book introduces; How both the book and this commissioned art piece is taken is largely
dependent on where our lives and hearts are. To some, Poetry In Motion will be seen as a self help
book without the self. Others will see it as a testimony and study guide. While many will see this book
as an attack because I speak of truths that many avoid talking...

St. Gregory the Great tells us that more men are drawn towards Heaven by the force of example than by the effects of argument. If this be true in reference to mankind in general, it is especially so with regard to the child. The child is formed on example. The truths of faith learned in the Catechism are for the most part unintelligible to him. He requires to have them sketched out as in a picture before he can take in their meaning. Children delight...

Indeed, so great is the evil of sin, that if, through the blessing of God, this little treatise should be the means of preventing but one venial sin in any one of its readers, it will have accomplished a most glorious task, for it will have prevented an evil far greater (could one but realize it) than the Black Death, the bubonic plague, the earthquake in Tokyo, or even the universal Deluge itself. And we devoutly hope it may prevent not one only...
